Ezekiel 17:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ It broke off the highest twig and carried it to a country of merchants. It planted the twig in a city of merchants.

⁵ “ ‘Then it took a seedling from that country and planted the seedling in fertile soil. The eagle planted the seedling like a willow where there was plenty of water. ⁶ The plant sprouted and grew into a low vine that spread over the ground. Its branches turned upward toward the eagle, but its roots grew downward. So it became a vine, producing branches and growing shoots.
